COUPON CRUsHERs AT WORK.
Judge Bond Renders Decision in the
Case of Cooper.


RICHMOND. VA, Oct. TN the United
States Circuit Court here to-day Judge
Bond rendered decision in four celebrated
coupon cases recently argued before him,
perpetuating the injunctions heretofore
granted upon the application of bondhold-
ers. The effect of the decision is to Join
and prevent the State officers from
sueing and obtaining judgments against
parties who have rendered coupons
for their taxes. Judge Bond follows
the reasoning of the United States Supreme
Court in the celebrated coupon case of Pon-
dexter VS.. Greenlow, and characterizes 1.-THE
coupon crusher" and other similar recent
laws of this State as parts of palpable
scheme to defraud the States creditors and
impair the obligation of her contract with
them, and in substance an
attempt to defy the authority
of the Federal government The opinion
also says there was not even an effort made
by the State Representatives to assert the
constitutionality of these laws, their whole
argument being denial of the jurisdiction of
the court TO prevent great wrong and in
jury to the plaintiffs. The opinion is
elaborate in detail and is considered one of
the most important ever delivered by Judge
Bond. Rules for contempt against three
county officers for disregarding the decision
of the court will be considered tomorrow.

Wreckers open a Switch.

DAYTON, o., Oct. Train wreckers
shifted a switch at Gravel Pit, on the Day
ton and Michigan railroad, three miles
north of here, last night. Engineer Cooper
discovered the switch open, instantly re-
versed his engine and called for brakes but
the engine was thrown from the track, and
rolled into a gravel pit and four loaded
freight cars were piled on it. The switch
had been forced open with crow bar,
evidently with the intention of wrecking
the express train that was due a few
moments later No one was hurt.

LOOKS LIKE THE BARRACKS.
The Federal Authorities Inclined to
Stick to Their Decision.

WASHINGTON, Oct. THE protests of
the Cotton Exchange and the mass meeting
of Wednesday against the site selected for
the Savannah public building have been re-
ceived at the Office of the Supervising
Architect. No action will be taken on them
until the result of the meeting of those
favorable to the proposed selection, which,
Representative Norwood telegraphs, will be
held next Monday 1t is known that the
Supervising Architect thinks that the action
of the Secretary of the Treasury will not
be reversed. He acted upon the recon-
mendation of the Supervising Architect,
Messrs. Arstell and Linton, experts from his
office, Representative Norwood, the United
States District Judge and the United States
Marshal.
ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT.
The approval of these Iast-n amed officials
was regarded as especially important, be-
cause the primary purpose of the proposed
building is to provide accommodations for
the courts. 1t was chiefly on the represen-
tations of the Judiciary that the bill was
passed. Collector Wheaton also approved
the sale, although he remarked that it was
SHot in the business quarter. Postmaster
Lamar wrote that he thought that it would
be better to wait until arrangements could
be made for the purchase of the county
COulb iiOuoe property. l. his SuSS6SblO1 was
not received with favor here The Super
vising Architect thinks that the barrac ks
site is the best that can be had.
COULDN'T CONDEMN.
He recalls the fact that if the Savannah
members of the Georgia House of Repre-
sentatives had not permitted the condemna-
ton bill to be amended so as to exempt pri-
vate dwellings, the property of DR.. Hopps
would have been condemned and acquired at
$40, 900 AS it is, no other purchasable
property of suitable size and surroundings,
is to be found, according to the Supervising
Architect, that is as good as the barracks.
The Supervising Architect is not moved by
the representations of the protests against
the selection of the barracks site, and the
purchase will probablp be completely. 1t is
pointed out in the Supervising Architects
Office that the barracks property is only two
blocks from DR.. Hops, and is even better
suited for the court.

WAR ON THE MORMONS.
A Minority of the Utah Comm ission
Makes a Report.


WASHINGTON, Oct. John A. McCler-
nard and A. B. Carlton, of the Utah Com
mission, have submitted to the Secretary of
the Interior a minority report, dissenting
from the views of the majority of the com
mission as expressed in its annual report re-
Gently submitted. The minority point
out the fact that more than
three-fourths of the Mormon population
have shown an intention or willingness to
give up plural marriages, and say: "Now,
while the great mass of the Mormon people
are making an effort for the abandonment
of the practice of polygamy we are asked
to recommend further legislation of a hos
tile and aggressive character almost, if not
entirely, destructive of local self-govern-
ment upon the innocent as well as the
guilty. This we decline to do.n The COM
missioners instead recommend the adoption
of an amendment to the constitution pro-
hibting the institution or practice of
polygamy in any form in any of the States
or TerritOritieS

COTrON'S POOR YIELD.
The Result in the Memphis District Dis
heartening to Planters.

MEMPHIS, Oct THE regular monthly
cotton crop report for the Memphis district,
which embraces West Tennessee, North
Mississippi, North Arkansas, and North
Alabama, to be published tomorrow by
Hill, Fontaine & Co., will say: "The re-
ports Of injury to the cotton crop from
drought and other causes which were given
in our August statement are fully confirmed
and there has been slight increase re-
ported which now estimates the damage
sustained at Al - per cent. from what the
yield promised on July |. The weather
during September was in the main favora-
ble for picking, and great progress was
made during September, it being esti-
mated that up TO October 40Jl per
cent. of the crop had been
gathered. The prospective yield through
out the district shows a material decrease.
Tennessee has suffered most and reports a
decrease Of 81 per cent, Arkansas of 2lM
per cent, Alabama of Is rs per cent, and
Mississippi of l0M per cent, making an
average decrease in the prospective yield of
the district, as compared with last
year, of 1874 per cent. Cotton is
being marked with great freedom and the
earliness of the season is evidenced by the
fact that the receipts at Memphis are more
than double those of last year up to this
period. The crop will be gathered fully six
weeks earlier than in past seasons, owing to
the cutting off of much of the middle and
all of the top crop"

TRADES OUTLOOK.
Every Condition Supplied For an Ad-
vance in Prices.


vance in Prices.
New YORK, Oct. 7.-R. G. Dun & Co. S
review of trade for the past week, ending
Saturday, Oct. s, says:
Every condition for a marked advance In
prices has now been supplied that the govern
ment or operators can control. IT an advance
does not come, it will be clear that the locking
mp of capital in railroad and other building and
real estate operations, and in speculatons o. va
riouS kinds has a more depressing influence than
many realize. The Treasury purchase of bonds
and the imports of gold supply, money in
abundance, and railroad earnings continue to
exceed those of last year The Treasury has
paid out since the month began $500 900 more
than it has taken in and the official state
ment shows that S33 900 was added in
September, so that the currency in circulation,
now exceeds by S102000000 the amount
of one year ago. Gold continues to move from
Europe. and the merchandise exports for five
weeks from New York show an increase of rs
per cent, against a decrease of Ii per cent. in
the imports here.
WHAT IS BRINGING THE GOLD.
While cotton is going out freely it is plain that
gold would not now be coming this way but for
speculation and investment on foreign ac-
counts.
The iron trade is but little weakened by the
enormous output, which was f44 63S tons weekly
Oct 1, a gain of 4.3 per cent. for the month and
II. per cent. above the output a year ago. The
best grades are still firm.
Wool remains easy and dull.
Cotton is a shade lower in spite of the extrava-
gantly gloomy reports sent out from some
Southern districts. At New Orleans an increase
of 275,000 bales in the crop is estimated, but
crops are generally disappointing because plant
ing and labor called for larger yield than has
been realized.
The dry goods trade shows no important
change
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days, as re-
ported to R. G. Dun & Co. S mercantile agency,
number for the United States 1sj and for
Canada twenty seven, a total of PIP, as against
1870 for the corresponding week of last year The
casualties in the Eastern and Middle States are
very light. The great bulk of the failures is re-
ported from the West and South.
